how to calculate the flowrate through this v-shape nozzle
(OP)




Hi all,
i got this nozzle from an online store where it can creates a flat-pan shape of water or air at the exit. The inlet is 1/4" male to a 0.91 diameter (from catalog).but the problem is from the photo, it's not a circular orifice.
Can anyone help to calculate the flow-rate if the nozzle outlet area i assume to be rectangular in shape with 0.91(L) and 0.6(W) when it is connected to a air compressor with supply of pressure at 5 bar.
Thank you for helping. THX A LOT!!!

If it was McMaster-Carr, they'll send you cut sheets on the items you purchased if you request.
Good luck,

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.

You need to know V angle and size. This give the equivalent orifice diameter.
For air just put that diameter into a choked flow orifice calculation and away you go.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

You could also plumb the nozzle to a hose with a pressure gauge, connect the other end to a pressurized water source and squirt the output into a bucket, and time the flow with a stopwatch...
